The object of the research is observing the effects of socio-demographic factors and work-life balance on employees' emotional exhaustion. The sample of the research consists of 261 participants in retailing, education, service, industry and logistics sectors. In line with the theoretical background, proper methods that are hierarchical regression analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) are implemented. The contribution of the research to the existing literature is exploring the relationship between socio-demographic factors, work-life balance and burnout by carrying out the implementation in organizations. Findings of the research demonstrate that the predictor with the highest effect on emotional exhaustion is the variable named taking time for oneself. The predictor with the lowest effect is variable named life is just working. Briefly we can say, it could be argued that emotional exhaustion declines by .398 units should taking time for oneself increases 1 unit. Emotional exhaustion decreases by .223 units whether work-life accordance is changed by 1 unit. Emotional exhaustion drops .196 units should life is just working increases 1 unit. By contrast, when you change neglecting life 1 unit, emotional exhaustion decreases by .202 units. Should carrying work to home changes 1 unit, emotional exhaustion increases by .313 units. To sum up, regarding to marital status, monthly total income and sector; there are significant differences between the groups in the levels of emotional exhaustion of employees. It appears that there is no significant difference between other groups.Keywords: Work-life balance; emotional exhaustion; socio-demographic factors; hierarchical regression; ANOVA. IntroductionOver the past 30 years there has been a significant increase in the field of work-life balance and burnout.

These studies are frequently implemented in the field of education, health and defense; and the participants are mostly nurses (Altay, Gönener & Demirkıran, 2010;Li, Ruan & Yuan, 2015); teachers (Avanzi, Schuh, Fraccaroli & Dick, 2015;Khezerlou, 2013;Otacıoğlu, 2008); academicians (Budak & Sür-gevil, 2005;Moeller & Chung-Yan, 2013) and police officers (Novara, Garro & Di Rienzo, 2015). By contrast, it is a widely held view that a small number of studies which have focused on the relationship between work-life balance, emotional exhaustion and socio-demographic factors; moreover, only a small number of them have been carried out in the organizations. Therefore, this study aims to fill this gap by carrying out the implementation in organizations and observe the relationship between socio-demographic factors, work-life balance and burnout.
